Report says Israel looking into transferring part of Area C to the PA. Minister Ariel: That will cost Netanyahu his coalition.
Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel Israel is considering the possibility of transferring land from Area C, which is under complete Israeli control in accordance with the Oslo Accords, to the Palestinian Authority, Channel 2 News reported on Tuesday.
Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel later made clear that if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu goes through with the plan, he will not have a coalition.
According to the report, the Civil Administration is looking into the idea of transferring some 10,000 dunams of land in Area C which are either state-owned land or private Palestinian Arab land that borders Areas A and B.
The move is part of a series of “gestures” that Israel is considering making to the Palestinian Authority.
This plan, which is being examined under the heading “thickening the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas”, has yet to be approved by the Cabinet, but officials in the Civil Administration told Channel 2 it is definitely being examined and formulated.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s office refused to comment on the report.
Responding to Tuesday evening’s report, Ariel made clear that approval of such a plan could result in the dismantling of Netanyahu’s current coalition.
“Again it is being reported that a ‘gesture’ in the form of transferring land to the PA is being considered. Therefore I will be clear, if Netanyahu goes through with this, his current coalition will fall apart,” tweeted Ariel.
Interestingly enough, news of Israel’s plan came hours after the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee’s Subcommittee on Judea and Samaria held a follow-up discussion regarding the response to illegal Arab construction in Area C.
Representatives of Regavim, an NGO watchdog group for Jewish national property rights, spoke at the discussion saying, “In the region of Ma’ale Adumim (east of Jerusalem – ed.) alone there are around 1,000 illegal structures, and the trend is only building strength.”
MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home), who heads the committee, said during the discussion that in practice those in enforcement are doing nothing on the subject, both in terms of the operational and the legal aspects of the matter.
“The enforcement on the ground is not being managed equally between Arabs and Jews. In general the construction is directed by the Palestinian Authority mainly on strategic land – E1,” he said, noting a highly important stretch linking Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim.
He added that the illegal construction is “funded by the European Union in breach of the Oslo Accords.”
@ bernard ross:
In the last few hours several ministers in the Netanyahu aggregate sternly denounce MAPS and other evidence of Netanyahu’s plan to give away tens of thousands of dunams of land “C” to his Islamic “partners”…
Reported now by A7 from several named sources.
Again… There are some that will rush to deny.
We must ferret out the facts and fast. Kerry was hare for a long meet with the item. What went on there?
We all must be sternly determined to prevent that element from performing to his known betrayal standards.
My associates in Y & S report no newly approved construction at all.
Ditto Jerusalem.
@ SHmuel HaLevi 2:
I hope it is not true. With a rumor every couple of hours many times emanating from like minded people, I am not a believer of this.
Bibi knows he can not even give any land to the PA without the disappearance of the his coalition because Ariel and Bennett have made this crystal clear.
@ bernard ross:
“The trail to a mega disengagement starts with a small retreat, 40000 dunams”. CONFUCIUS 🙂
@ Bear Klein:
I just moments ago received from a credible source that Netanyahu offered Kerry a retreat from area “C”, 40000 dunams, in exchange for…. “quiet”.
I need somebody in the Blog to vet this information.

As you noticed, when reading BB one has to read the fine print, the addendum tacked on for the whole story. Like most people say BB says he wont withdraw from YS but he never said that, he says he wont forcefully evict settlers like in gaza… meaning he will give them the choice to voluntarily leave or voluntarily live under the pals.

Its called a “trial balloon”…. you have your appointed minions leak “their” plans, see whether the public will buy it, and when they dont you disassociate yourself from the “leaked” plans…”it wasn’t me”
everything about netanyahu is clear from what he does and from what he refrains from doing… doing is the key word.
@ bernard ross:
We all intend to report credibly so I must report that el Netanyahu just said, while making faces, that he will not approve providing arms and other items to his islamic “partners”. AT THIS TIME, says he… I wonder what does that mean? At this time.
Netanyahu did not refute Ya’alon’s leak by his leaking experts professional staff reported plans to “gesture” away Judea and Samaria Jewish National land. Area “C”.
Nor did he deny the leaked and reported plans to squeeze the Jewish villages and farms in the same region.
One must understand the salami slices tactic of leaks and denials. Primitive and widely predictable for the alert.
Keep in mind that NOTHING is published here before the Military Censor Office approves it and guess from whom they get the nod.
By the way… Our people in Jerusalem and Y & S report NO CONSTRUCTION at all. Reference, the two week old “approval to complete construction” eructed again by the mime minister.
I will report from Jerusalem about Temple Mount Jews visitation quotas. Do they exist or not?

A few us, some of whom tired or faded, have been warning for a decade and a half about the complete mutation of the so called “tzahal” into a tool for Oslo cloned generals and their change shape lying civilian lieges.
NEWS as we speak: Ya’alon ordered the setting up of an hermetic “fence” between Hevron and Kiriat Gat. For defense purposes of course…. my foot. The renegade is doing so following orders from Netanyahu and are isolating the Hevron Jewish community in preparation for mega disengagement by force.
Also in the news…
This is how the mutant work. Commander Meron was the Israeli Navy Chief during the flotilla & “Marmara” clash. He ordered the commandos to discard the paint ball rifles provided by Barak and Netanyahu and fire live ammo against the terrorists on board, killing 9 enemies. He was soon after, one way or another, discharged/retired.
Yesterday, his son, also a top Navy officer, was ejected from the Navy command in Ashdod… There is always a reason ya know.
Again, WE DO NOT HAVE any kind of true reliable military or police or justice system. They are nor there to defend our rights or property or lives.
Many of that flotsam given half a chance, they drift and work for the enemy.
something is rotten in Tzahal… the fish rots from the head.
no surprise there…. the army run by Yaalon, the BB appointed DM, who together with BB, rivlin and Erdan decided to enact a law to incarcerate Jews without evidence when arabs burned an arab home. they sure know how to seize the opportunity of the moment. They were ready give all this because they thought the stabbings would get Israelis to appease the arabs and abandon YS…. now they have to wait till it blows over.
Land only? Of course not. Netanyahu is moving steadily to demolish what is left of the State Jewish Heritage and Jewish faith and people.
REPORTED ON Arutz 7. Presently.
A. “tzahal” is requesting that we, meaning on our coin, provide the Abbas beasts with shielded personnel carriers and new armaments.
B. Limit the “Jewish villages” in Y & S.
And proudly announced the prevention of several “price tag” actions.
Anyone relying on that element needs urgent psychiatric care. The politzei is right up there as well and so is the so called “judiciary”.
All of them being of course Netanyahu’s darlings.
I dont beleive that these are new gestures but part of an existent plan of a few years which accomplishes under the table changes to run in tandem with a long term (5-10 year “solution”)
this part is interesting as a couple of years ago, when a similar giving was done or being discussed, I speculated whether the lands in c were being given next to large pal population centers in order to concentrate their development near existing centers. If this were being done with a view to establishing policeable borders in the event of a state declaration and annexation of C it could serve a positive purpose… but with BB the only thing we can rely on is that we cannot know what he is really up to.
LOL, does the fox in the henhouse comment on his future plans?
BB is prepared already for this event….an event that will bring in the left and be blamed on the right. (unless BB replace BY with liberman and lapid instead of the bespoke zionist unionl.)
this is completely unsurprising and understandable when one takes the premise that BB is working against right wing agenda…. he is the caretaker of the status quo that keeps things frozen until the globalists can again move it forward in a leftwards direction.
There is one appropriate gesture in response to the PA campaign of stabbings inflicted upon innocent Jews, and that is a bullet to the head of Mahmoud Abbas. This being Thanksgiving, he should then be stuffed with a delicious combination of bread crumbs/onions/mushrooms/basil, slowly cooked to a pleasing golden brown, and then served alongside cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes to the all the starving Palestinian children who are so persecuted by Zionist Occupation.
This would be the ideal way of saying to Obama and Kerry,
“We care. We really care.”
If Netanyahu insists on making unilateral concessions to Arabs bent on murdering Jews, this should be the end of his government.
Jewish blood is not for sale, period.
